If you haven't been to the Phillipines it a seriously corrupt place. It's full of very poor and desperate people they're forced to drugs and dealing in it. Even the families were so desperate they sold their own children to pedos that travelled there. It was foul.
So when Duterte got elected and went in hard and shooting dealers and pushers it certainly cleaned up the streets by a factor of thousands.
As for the death squads, not sure what the situation is on that front but I do know there terrorism is rife in the southern side.
North has CPP-NPA, early in Duterte's precidency, He wants to talk to them because "you can't kill ideals". But IIRC one time they are having peace talks, a group if Filipino soldier were ambushed by NPAs and that pissed off Duterte.
NPA on their early days(70's) they are "legit" group who are fighting for ideals, Today, they are nothing more than terrorist that burns down local business that don't pay for "revolutionary tax" and behead farmers.
